Hello Everyone! I am getting two new easter egger chicks that will be adopted by my speckled sussex broody hen. I am trying to get set up before they get here so that I don't have to interrupt them and mom for the first few hours. Does anyone have any suggestions for where I should put their feeder and waterer? I have been thinking about taking out the wall between the broody's box and the nesting box in the middle so that her and the chicks could have a little more space overall (and the other chickens haven't been using the middle box). Or, should I maybe build a little platform outside of the opening so that they can walk out of the box and eat/drink? When will mama start bringing them out of the coop and down the ramp to get food and water outside with the rest of the hens? Thank you for your help!
